Orange County Register (20 April 2011): Husband-and-wife teachers charged with sex with minor

Orange County Register said:

Two married schoolteachers groomed a 17-year-old boy with booze, food, movies and trips to their hot tub before repeatedly having unlawful sex with him together and separately for several months, according to charges filed Wednesday by the Orange County District Attorney's Office ... A news release from the District Attorney's Office provided the following account, leading up to the prosecutors' allegations:

Daniel Shepard met the teen while he was a student at Westminster High.
Beginning in March 2009, Shepard and his wife regularly invited the boy to their Huntington Beach home to drink alcohol, eat, play board games and watch movies, prosecutors say.
In April 2009, according to the prosecutors, the couple assaulted the boy for the first time.
The sexual activity continued weekly, prosecutors said.
Daniel Shepard is accused of sexually assaulting the boy until September 2009, and Gay Davidson-Shepard is accused of sexually assaulting the boy until December 2009.
The victim turned 18 in December 2009. Any sexual activity with the two teachers after that cannot be criminally charged.
Daniel Shepard also is accused of asking the boy to email him nude photos of himself and taking nude photographs of the teen and the illegal sex acts.
In March 2011, the teen disclosed the sexual assault to his mother, who contacted police.
Daniel Shepard has been charged with two felony counts of oral copulation of a minor, one felony count of sodomy with a person younger than 18, one felony count of possession and control of child pornography and one misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of five years in state prison.
Davidson-Shepard has been charged with three felony counts each of unlawful sexual intercourse, sodomy with a person younger than 18, oral copulation of a minor and one misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
She faces a maximum sentence of eight years and four months in state prison.
Anyone with additional information or who believes he or she has been a victim is encouraged to contact Westminster police detective Michael Nguyen at 714-548-3742 or Supervising District Attorney Investigator Lou Gutierrez at 714-347-8794.
